Trump Adviser Peter Navarro Accuses Fox News of Muzzling MAGA After Maria Bartiromo Ouster

Trump Adviser Peter Navarro Accuses Fox News of Muzzling MAGA After Maria Bartiromo Ouster

White House senior counselor for trade and manufacturing Peter Navarro has accused Fox News of "suppressing MAGA news" and enforcing a "shadow ban" on some of President Trump's surrogates. This accusation comes after the ouster of longtime Fox host and Trump friend, Maria Bartiromo, last week. Navarro defended Bartiromo in an op-ed, claiming that Fox News management had clamped down on coverage of President Trump's election fraud claims. He cited an internal directive from Fox Business executive Ralph Giordano, which stated, "We don’t want to promote it or push to the speech at all. We don’t want to do 2020 election segments at all Thurs or Friday." Navarro confirmed that Bartiromo was taken off the air after Fox management learned she had shared this internal guidance with the White House. President Trump also expressed his shock and support for Bartiromo on Truth Social.

Vice President J.D. Vance Faces Backlash for 'Looking Forward' to 9/11 Anniversary Ceremony

Vice President J.D. Vance has received criticism after a video clip circulated on X showed him stating he was 'looking forward' to the 25th-anniversary September 11 commemoration in New York.

White House Faces Calls for Nintendo Lawsuit Over 'Ocarina of Time' Parody

The White House has drawn criticism and calls for a lawsuit from social media users after releasing a video parodying Nintendo's 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.' The video, titled 'The Legend of Trump, Make America Great Again,' was posted on the official X account and featured President Trump in a style reminiscent of the iconic Nintendo game, complete with its original soundtrack. The video depicted President Trump on the White House lawn, entering the building, and signing papers in the Oval Office, with a caption stating, 'President Trump is working tirelessly... TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.' This incident follows previous instances where the White House released retro-style games promoting President Trump's political agenda, including 'Build the Wall,' which was inspired by Tetris and later removed from the White House's arcade website.

President Trump's inaugural midterm GOP convention in Dallas is facing challenges in securing significant airtime from mainstream television networks.

While C-SPAN will offer comprehensive coverage and Fox News plans extensive live programming from the site, other major networks like ABC, NBC, and CBS have remained vague about their coverage plans, with some indicating only on-the-ground reporting rather than major broadcasts.

New Mexico Officials Reject President Trump's Suggestion to Rename State 'New America'

New Mexico Officials Reject President Trump's Suggestion to Rename State 'New America'

President Trump recently suggested renaming the state of New Mexico to 'New America' through posts on social media platforms, including Truth Social and X. These posts featured images of New Mexico with its name altered to 'New America.' This suggestion follows previous actions by President Trump to rename geographical features via executive order, such as the Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' and Lake Ontario to 'Lake America.' However, the U.S. federal government lacks the constitutional authority to unilaterally change a state's name; such a change would require an amendment to the state constitution approved by New Mexico voters. New Mexico's Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, along with U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján, and U.S. Representatives Melanie Stansbury and Gabe Vasquez, have strongly rejected the proposal. Governor Grisham emphasized that New Mexico's name is not 'up for debate' and has existed since before the United States. Senator Heinrich stated he would always refer to th...

President Trump Mocked Online for AI-Generated Green Lantern Post

President Trump Mocked Online for AI-Generated Green Lantern Post

President Trump has been widely mocked online following an AI-generated post from the White House's official X account. The post featured an image of President Trump wearing a Green Lantern ring, standing over a city with an 'American Manufacturing' sign, and later with warships and fighter jets in the sky. The accompanying text quoted the Green Lantern Corps oath: 'In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might beware my power... Green Lantern's light!' This unusual post has led to significant online ridicule, with many users questioning its authenticity and the President's mental state. This incident follows other recent erratic online behavior from President Trump, including an AI video of geese with his hairstyle and a declaration of 'mission accomplished' in Iran despite ongoing conflict.
